Adrianna Huffington argues that there were other options for George Tenet than to stand by silently and watch the “slow motion car crash.”

George Tenet seems to believe there’s a major distinction between lying and standing by silently while others lie, and then proudly receiving a Medal of Freedom from the liars. He could have simply resigned and freed himself to “tell the truth.” Tenet acts as if resignation were not an option. But it was. And the passion and anger he displays now in the service of book sales could have been used then in the service of his country. So here is a plea to all Bush administration officials: Now is the time to resign.
